It takes about 20 million trees to produce the paper needed to manufacturer a year's worth of books bought in the United States. That's a mind-boggling number, especially to us eco-friendly types. And especially to an author who writes a mystery featuring a eco-friendly zookeeper.Eco-Libris at http://www.ecolibris.net/ has come up with one solution. They would like you to donate $1 for every book you buy. They in turn will donate these funds to other non-profit organizations to plant a tree. Some of their partners are Sustainable Harvest International, Alliance for International Reforestation and RIPPLE Africa.
Live green. Plant a tree.
